first i pan fried the hamburger with garlic oil and butter (yeah, i know, wicked healthy). as the hamburger was starting to brown up i added the mccormick sea salt blend and the black pepper and started boiling the water for the spaghetti.

once the hamburger was browned, i added the campbell’s cream of mushroom soup and 1 can of water and let that heat up not to a full or rolling boil, then added the corn and green beans.

i’ve been playing pocket mine since the first version came out. published by roofdog games pocket mine is a very simple digging game. essentially, you dig as far as you can, upgrade your pick, and collect as many rewards and secrets you can find. one of the most appealing aspects of the game is the runs you make can be short (good for the on-the-go gamer) or can take a decent amount of time (depending on what you’re trying to do, i.e.- farm artifacts and cash, etc).

another great aspect is the rubies. yes, you can buy them in game, however you can also do a wide variety of things to get free rubies (i.e.- install and run a game, install a game and get to a certain level, sign up for free trials, etc). with the rubies, you can unlock new characters (some of which are amazing for certain deck and loadout builds, more on that later) or buy keys to unlock chests or buy magic cubes to craft items. now, you don’t necessarily *need* rubies to play the game, however they play a critical role. especially if you’re like me and are going for 100% completion. so, you absolutely will want to look into the free rubies, or if you have cash to burn buy them.

so here’s where i’m at with pocket mine and pocket mine 2.

as you can see, i have a good amount of rubies for both games (free rubies are the way to go!)

does the gnu gpl apply here? or is the ‘custom’ roms that are installed still owned by the device manufacturer? is the version of android one modifies to install on their device owned by them? or the manufacturer? or the telco?

the bottom line is that little by little our freedom is being stripped away. yet we as a people do nothing. our government sneaks in these bullshit laws to control every facet of our lives and we are supposed to smile and nod.

this is a recipe i kinda threw together and have modified over the years. i’m quite certain there are probably 100’s of other ones out there just like this.

amount

ingredient

1 tsp

oregano

1 tsp

parsley

1 tsp

thyme

1

sweet onion (medium to large)

2

small garlic cloves

2 cans

whole kernel sweet corn

32oz

heavy cream

1-2 cups

whole milk

2 lbs

chicken breast

1 lb

thick cut bacon

4-6

medium potatoes

chop the potato up into small cubes and boil them. i cook them until they are soft enough to stick a fork into without much pressure.

chop up the onion and garlic into small pieces and pan fry with butter.

cube the chicken and pan fry, add the oregano and parsley. cook the bacon. add the bacon to the chicken (this helps lessen the bacon flavor so it doesn’t overpower the whole chowder). add the onion and garlic and continue cooking the mixture. i usually cook the chicken, set it aside, cook the bacon, set that aside and then cook everything in a large electric.

once the potatoes are cooked, strain and rinse. pour the heavy cream into the pot and add the potato, corn, chicken, bacon, onion and garlic. add the thyme as well.

do not boil – i cook the entire thing in one big pot on low and let it simmer for 2+ hours.

i did a full remodel on quum manor. i had initially started with the design leaning heavily towards the whiterun style of buildings. i ended up deleting all of that and going with something i liked. it is still currently a work in progress, however, i will have it in the steam workshop soon. below is a list of the current features.
